I'm on a mission to start an #AdventureRevolution

The modern world has become too easy, too averse to challenge and too disconnected from nature. This is lack of living adventurously is having a negative effect on our physical and mental health.

I believe that adventure is a necessity of the human spirit. Adventure makes us happier and healthier, it teaches us to take challenges, to appreciate our wild places and each other and gives us moments of real joy. I’ve spent 24yrs taking groups into the wilderness and I've seen adventure change people’s lives, by fostering creativity, building confidence and giving inspiration
